In October 2020, the European Route of Historic Gardens was certified by the Council of Europe. This was not only a great honour, but also an important step in recognising the historic, artistic, social and natural values of historic green spaces.
Admission to the Cultural Route of the Council of Europe has also opened up opportunities to participate in various projects promoting culture and tourism at the international level. What could be the role of the European Route of Historic Gardens in this regard? How can it be in-volved in the implementation of the European Union’s cultural policy? This paper seeks to find answers to these questions.
The book presents a results of the thesis written by Jacek Kuśmierski, conservator of historic gardens and the ERHG independent collaborator, at the Postgraduate Studies “Cultural Diplomacy” at the Jagiellonian University, under the supervision of Prof. Bożena Gierat-Bieroń.

A Europe of united gardens

A Europe of united gardens. The role of the ERHG in the implementation of the cultural policy of the European Union

We are proud to announce the Sustainability journal published Identification and Analysis of Problems in Selected European Historic Gardens during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper investigates the functioning of historic gardens during the pandemic, based on a survey completed by 23 managers of the 31 historic gardens from June to August 2020.
Written by Katarzyna Hodor, Łukasz Przybylak, Jacek Kuśmierski and Magdalena Wilkosz-Mamcarczyk, it investigates the functioning of historic gardens during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors collected and analysed information on the impact of the pandemic on the behaviour of visitors, maintenance, and condition of cultural heritage assets, European historic gardens.
<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210413153935/https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/3/1332">DOWNLOAD THE ARTICLE</a> - <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/3/1332">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/3/1332</a>
Four aspects were considered particularly carefully: the situation of gardens during the COVID-19 pandemic, maintenance and care in gardens, virtual activity and communication, and financial consequences. The authors determined the conditions of the gardens and the problems they faced based on a survey and then proposed a diagnosis.
This article belongs to the Special Issue Natural Environment and Cultural Heritage in the City, A Sustainability Perspective; published by Sustainability. This is an international, cross-disciplinary, scholarly, peer-reviewed and open access journal of environmental, cultural, economic, and social sustainability of human beings. It provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development, and is published semimonthly online by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI).

Identification and Analysis of Problems in Selected European Historic Gardens during the COVID-19 pandemic

Garden art consists of a wide spectrum of artistic phenomena and technical solutions related to the composition of greenery. It constitutes one of the integral elements of Europe’s rich heritage and a living record of its timeless values. For at least two centuries, historic gardens have been an object of care of conservators and historians who strive to preserve their artistic, historical, scientific and natural values. They were joined by museologists who perpetuate the memory of the gardens through, inter alia, collecting and processing museum exhibits, providing access to collections, as well as curatorial and educational activities.
The present publication summarises the research on this phenomenon, conducted by by Jacek Kuśmierski, conservator of historic gardens, museum professional and ERHG collaborator, within the framework of his final dissertation Musealisation of Gardens: Genesis, Manifestations and Development Prospects within Postgraduate Museology Studies at the University of Warsaw.
Hortuseum: Musealisation of the European Gardens in the twenty-first century is the first synthetical publication on this subject in Poland and one of the few in Europe, dedicated to all museum employees who want to carry out activities devoted to the art of gardening.

Hortuseum: The Musealisation of the European Gardens in the twenty-first century by Jacek Kuśmierski

The Santiago de Compostela Pilgrim Routes was the first certified cultural route in 1987. Since then, the Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes program has identified 38 thematic routes with thousands of cultural sites and events in 60 countries, across Europe and beyond.
These routes offer a multitude of opportunities for today’s travellers seeking to discover authentic heritage sites and the lifestyles that accompany them, with a view to reducing their ecological footprint and promoting tourism that supports the sustainable development of local communities.
<h1>An invitation to travel and learn</h1>
The publication <a href="https://www.coe.int/es/web/cultural-routes/-/cultural-routes-of-the-council-of-europe-publications-2020" target="_blank">Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe 2020</a> presents all the routes from the oldest ones, including Santiago de Compostela, the Hansa or the Phoenician Route – to the most recent ones including the Iron Curtain Trail, the Liberation Route Europe or the Routes of Reformation. They are divided into five thematic poles: history and civilizations, arts and architecture, religious heritage, landscapes and crafts as well as industrial and scientific heritage.
The publication «Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe – Brochure for travellers (2020)» is an invitation to travel, learn and get involved in many programmes offered by the Cultural Routes.
On October 8th the European Route of Historic Gardens (ERHG) will defend its candidacy to become a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. This certification is a guarantee of excellence, and the ERHG aims to get this mention as a mean to recognize the historic, artistic, social and natural value of historic gardens.

Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe 2020: New publication for travellers

<h2 class="p1">Let us share with you the presentation words of our Acting President, Lukasz Przybylak:</h2>
"Since the beginning of our organization, we have been looking for a way to provide our members, colleagues and visitors with a space to express their views on garden heritage. Every year we guarantee it during the <a href="https://www.europeanhistoricgardens.eu/en/european-annual-forum-historic-gardens" target="_blank">European Historic Gardens Annual Forum</a>. In order to perpetuate the excellent speeches and lectures given during the forum, we have decided to make them the content of the official annual publication.
The main title is not coincidental as each of the historic gardens and their representatives are 'heralds' of news from the world of conservation and restoration of works of garden art.
From the cover, the friendly face of the mythological 'Green Man' looks out at the reader. This slightly forgotten fairy tale character is worth recalling in today's world full of sustainability challenges and environmental concerns. 'Green Man', primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, represents the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring"
